After updating photoshop I haven't found my plugin. They are gone. How do I get my plugins back? There is any way to how to copy plugins over from all my previous versions of Photoshop so that I don't have to reinstall them?
Thanks in advanced.

Step 1: Open the Creative Cloud desktop app. Photoshop is updated using the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Step 2: Choose the Updates category. To view only the apps that have an update available, choose Updates in the column along the left.
Step 3: Click the Update button.
Step 4: Open the updated version of Photoshop.

To update Photoshop CC while keeping all your plugins, you can follow these steps:

Launch the Adobe Creative Cloud application on your computer. It should be installed if you have Photoshop CC.
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
In the Creative Cloud app, navigate to the "Apps" tab located on the left-hand side.
Under the "Apps" tab, you should see a list of applications you have installed. Look for Photoshop CC and check if there is an available update. If an update is available, you will see an "Update" button next to Photoshop CC.
Click on the "Update" button to start the update process.
The Creative Cloud app will begin downloading and installing the latest version of Photoshop CC. This process may take some time depending on your internet speed.
Once the update is complete, launch the updated version of Photoshop CC.
During the first launch of the updated version, you may be prompted to migrate your settings and preferences from the previous version. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the migration process.
After launching the updated version, check if all your plugins are still present and functioning properly. Most plugins should be compatible with the newer versions of Photoshop, but there may be some rare cases where compatibility issues arise.
If any of your plugins are not working correctly or are missing, you may need to reinstall or update them to ensure compatibility with the updated version of Photoshop CC. Check the websites of the plugin developers for any available updates or instructions on reinstalling the plugins.

It's always a good practice to backup your plugins and any important files before performing any software updates.

 To update Photoshop CC while retaining your plugins, first, ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Creative Cloud. Then, before updating Photoshop, backup your plugins by locating the "Plug-ins" folder in the Photoshop installation directory and saving it externally. After the update, reinstall your plugins into the new version's "Plug-ins" folder to maintain seamless functionality.
